Rapid Prototyping in Action: a Prototype Career Facilitator Training Module Developed in a Distributed Learning Format

The current training situation is that the vast majority of the education available for Career Development Professionals is only delivered in the traditional face-to-face (classroom) method. This creates a problem for Career Development Practitioners who are interested in professional development but because of full time employment cannot easily afford the time required for traditional face-to-face training. The problem that I am trying to address in this project is to develop a prototype Distributed Learning module that will meet the unique training needs of these workers and serve as a model for future development of the rest of the Career Development Certificate program. This prototype module will be designed to deliver the high quality educational experience students will need in order to meet the new standards and guidelines for Career Development Professionals in Canada.
